Degree options
A sample of degree options for this offering
Accounting, Finance & Economics- Accounting
Accounting is called the language of business because it communicates financial data to users to help them make better decisions. It identifies, records and communicates relevant, reliable and comparable information about an organization’s business activities. Accountants work in public accounting, governmental, not-for-profit, education and private accounting for all types of businesses in every industry.
Accounting, Finance & Economics- Finance
Finance combines accounting and economics into a curriculum that focuses on how each of these two subjects affect an organization and how to manage and utilize financial resources effectively.
Agriculture- Agriculture Business
The Ag-Business program provides a balanced educational program with relatively broad interdisciplinary training as opposed to narrow specialization, thus preparing the student for success in their chosen field. The program in Ag-Business integrates the discipline of agriculture, business, accounting, economics and finance. Emphasis is placed on management directed towards the farm business and Ag-Business firms. Trends in careers related to agriculture are shifting from production to ag-business services such as management, processing, distribution and marketing. This creates a need for recruits with a broad background in these areas of training. Our systems concept is geared to integration of disciplines to better prepare graduates for present day needs.
